Description: Muskogee, Oklahoma criminal defense lawyer represented Defendant charged with conspiracy to distribute drugs.
Michael Moses George, age 41, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma was indicted on a Drug Conspiracy charge.

DEA agents executed a search warrant of George’s Oklahoma City apartment at the time of his arrest. In the apartment they found nearly a pound of heroin, $20,000 in bundled cash, and four firearms. A search of the George’s cellphone revealed text messages demonstrating a history of selling heroin to people in the McAlester and Oklahoma City areas.
All of the other defendants originally indicted in the case have entered guilty pleas. The guilty verdict was the result of an investigation by the McAlester Police Department, the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, District 18 Drug Taskforce, and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Heil, III, U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma in Muskogee, presided over the trial and ordered the completion of a presentence report.
